The cast and crew began filming the movie with a pooja in the morning. Earlier, the official Twitter handle of the movie shared a photo of the script of the movie and the caption written along with it hinted at the project going on the floor.

Sairat was a love story that was set against the backdrop of casteism in rural Maharshtra. The Marathi film starred Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar and the two were highly applauded for their performances.

Janhvi will be facing the camera for the first time with this film. Ishaan has already starred in Majid Majidi’s film Beyond The Clouds, and is gaining much appreciation for his work in the film. With Karan Johar backing this project, Dhadak is surely a dream debut for the newbies. Karan Johar had launched Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra with Student of the Year in 2012. The film is a co-production between Zee Studios and Dharma Productions and is scheduled to release on July 6, 2018.

Janhvi is the daughter of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor and with the legacy that her mother has left behind in Indian cinema, she will have huge shoes to fill.
